Eighteen: Part 2

The school was quiet until the bell violently rang echoing across the school filling the halls, corridors, and classrooms, the student's eyes lit up when their 3rd period had ended and it was lunch break. It was English class, Sarah's eyes refocused back into the classroom as the school bell woke her up from her daydream, rather than paying attention in class she had been drawing illustrations of Jareth with her pencil at the back of her school book, she had gotten so good at drawing him she barely needed to look anymore, all she had to do was think of him and her hand would draw away, letting her imagination run away with her. The bell finished ringing, the faceless students in her class lifted from their seats only for Sarah to remain seated with an unengaged expression on her face, people were no longer people to Sarah, no one had a face and all they made were muffled sounds, there were occasions where she'd instantly forget someone's name within seconds of meeting them and sometimes she'd forget the things she studied at school because all she'd think about is Jareth and it was concerning those around her. It seemed Jareths magic has been working. The unpleasant sound of chairs screeching against the hard floor shivered Sarah out of her classroom daze, she looked down at her English book to see that she hadn't written anything all lesson only that she'd just been doodling Jareth in a trance, embarrassed with herself she quickly stuffed her school supplies into her bag hoping no one saw her doodles, Sarah barely was out of her chair until...

"Saffy!" Muffy's shrill voice cut right through her

'Not her, please not her' the heroine sighed to herself, she mentally prepared herself for what Muffy wanted

"Look Saffy, I got a good grade" Muffy presented Sarah her clearly marked 'A' on her English report flashing her pearly white teeth

"That's wonderful Muffy" Sarah awkwardly nodded, "I'm glad you got a good grade" Sarah gave the popular girl a weak smile and was about her leave her seat about to meet Ryan for lunch until she felt something domineeringly grabbing onto her shoulder again, Sarah's eyes trailed from the hand to its owner "May I?" Muffy pointed at Sarah's desk then scooted herself so that she was sitting on top, she didn't even bother waiting for her victim to answer nor did she care whether or not she was making Sarah's stuff fall onto the floor with Brad and Steffy looming in behind her. Sarah could feel Brad's intimidating jock presence behind her, nothing close to intimidating like Jareth but he still had an intimidating presence, whereas Steffy made sure she was behind Muffy so she could be treated like Muffys personal slave.

Sarah studied the 2 girls in front of her, Muffy had a gorgeous face caked in a heavy layer of white powder with babydoll lips and blue eyes, she was slim and had the perfect figure for cheerleading, her hair is brunette like Sarah except for Muffy's had a slight perm and was immaculately styled into a ponytail without a hair out of place, Muffy always wore red lipstick which made for a striking contrast against her blue eyes, her hands were pale and soft with an ever-present manicure, today she was wearing a black and white houndstooth blazer and skirt with pearl buttons, she was also wearing black patent kitten heels and sheer black tights, she wore small pearl studs in her ears with a matching pearl necklace and never wore anything too garish. Sarah found something to be quite haunting about Muffy, that she was beautiful but there was something incredibly off about her, she couldn't quite put her finger on it and it made her feel uneasy around the popular girl. Sarah examined Muffy cross-legged noticing her skirt riding up but it seemed Muffy didn't care, then her eyes moved over the Steffy, the stupid clone of Muffy.

It was clear Steffy was a very insecure girl and that she didn't seem capable of thinking for herself however she tried not to be too obvious that she was copying Muffy, her hair was frazzled from over dying it bleach blonde and perms, her outfit was pretty much the same as Muffys although Sarah could tell it wasn't as expensive as Muffys, Steffy wasn't allowed to wear pearls, therefore, she settled for loud plastic bangles and earrings. Steffy always had nervous energy around her such as if she wasn't with Muffy she'd go very quiet and withdrawn and when she was with Muffy, it seemed she'd rather appease Muffy than care for herself, Sarah noticed Steffy's teeth looked duller compared to her queens whenever she was allowed to smile and her hair didn't look as luscious. During a lunch break one afternoon, Sarah once went to the girl's bathroom only to hear crying in one of the stalls, the heroine cautiously went to investigate the whimpering from the peaked open door of the bathroom stall to find Steffy sitting on the stall floor, mascara running down her face with donut powder and pink lipstick smeared on her gaunt face and empty boxes of donuts beside her, Sarah put 2 and 2 together with Steffy looking up and asking Sarah not to tell Muffy. Sarah has kept her promise and Steffy has never looked Sarah in the eyes since.

Brad was typical Jock material, he's 6'3ft with a muscular body and thick naturally blonde hair that was styled to be brushed back, his eyes are steely grey framed with thick bushy eyebrows, he often wore a red varsity jacket to match Muffy's lipstick with blue jeans and sneakers, he did fairishly well in other classes but his main focus was living up to everyone's expectations of him. He and Muffy were in an on-off relationship where they'd both cheat on each other and Brad would often go with Steffy knowing she's easy, it seemed they were only together for what they were rather than who, Sarah wanted to believe there was something good about their relationship but knew otherwise. Brad detested Ryan for reasons unknown, possibly because he challenged him unlike others and that Ryan's father was a football superstar, Ryan hated Brad because he knew his father wanted him to be like Brad rather than being his quirky self. there were rumors flying about that he was using steroids to enhance his athletic prowess, this became more evident when he threatened students for no apparent reason and his formerly flawless complexion uglified with acne, it was ironic that he made fun of Ryan for his acne but hypocrisy flew over Brad's head. The only things that mattered to Brad were his obsession with having a healthy diet, his looks, cars, and girls but no one cared about his shallowness because he is the high school football star and all the girls in school had a crush on him, including Sarah.

After her quick study, Sarah squirmed with self-consciousness about her own appearance especially seeing Muffy's expensive outfit. Muffy could see her victim's insecurity written all over her face which made her eyes grow in excitement, she kept her hand firmly on Sarah's shoulder.

"So Saffy" Muffy grinned, "I remembered it's your birthday on Friday"

hearing this surprised Sarah as she didn't think that she was important enough to Muffy for her to remember something like her birthday or that she'd want to associate with her outside of school, feeling uneasy, Sarah had no choice but to listen to the bullies surrounding her.

"Err...yeah...it's Friday" Sarah awkwardly chuckled, "I'm surprised you remember"

Muffy pretended to look offended by what Sarah said and Steffy mimicked her 'offended' actions, Muffy turned to Steffy still pretending to look shocked

"Can you believe that Steffy? Saffy didn't think I'd remember her birthday" both of them started a frenzy of over the top gasping sounds as Sarah could feel herself sink further into her chair wanting the ground to swallow her.

"No I can't believe it Muffy" Steffy excitedly responded to her queen

Muffy turned back to face Sarah who was looking confused, her grip on Sarah's shoulder slightly loosened and she tried to give Sarah her best sincere face.

"Oh Saffy, of course, I remember your birthday. I am your best friend after all"

Sarah looked at the popular girl in front of her still dumbfounded as to what was going on but she also couldn't help but feel a nervous excitement that Muffy was talking to her.

"Umm...I guess" Sarah nervously smiled, Muffy's face became a picture of manipulative arrogance as she smiled at her timid victim

"So when are you having the house party?" Muffy beamed

"House party?" Sarah questioned in disbelief

"Yes, Sarah, the house party that you're having. you can't have your big 18th birthday party without your best friends, am I right guys?" Muffy gestured towards Steffy and Brad to answer with Steffy over-excitedly answering yes whereas Brad's answer was less enthusiastic but it was still a yes. Multiple thoughts ran through Sarah's head worrying about how she would approach this or would she have to politely turn Muffy down but she was removed from her thoughts when she could feel Muffy's nails dig into her, pressing her for an answer.

"Muffy, I don't think I cou-" Sarah was cut off

"Wonderful! So let's say Saturday at 8?" Muffy gushed

"Oh...um...y-yeah, Saturday at 8" Sarah smiled back

"Perfect!" Muffy gushed removing her hand off Sarah's shoulder, Muffy slid herself off the top of Sarah's desk with Brad and Steffy appearing beside her. Sarah noticed that Steffy obediently held her hand out waiting for Muffy to place her bag into her slave's hand whereas Brad looked like he just wanted to leave. the group turned to leave the classroom before Muffy turned back to face Sarah.

"Oh and Saffy, one more thing. that freak show Ryan isn't invited, k?" she smiled, Brad turned at hearing Ryan's name and he narrowed his eyes at Sarah with Steffy looking at her friends to see how she was supposed to react, she ended up copying Brad. Sarah looked at the group and nervously nodded her head "o-okay, no Ryan"

"Perfect" Muffy purred with an evil grin, "see you later Saffy" Muffy said as the popular kids left the classroom with Muffy and Steffy giggling to themselves leaving Sarah completely stupefied about what just happened

'What in the aboveground just happened? I can't have a house party. what would dad and Irene think? what if they make a mess or break something? what if they want to bring a ton of people I don't know or if they bring alcohol? what if they go into my room or if they steal something? where I am going to find the time? Jareth wants me to see him that day and OH MY JARETH! what is Jareth going to do? I'll have to think of something but I know he isn't going to be happy. what I am going to do? Ugh, why did I say yes to her? why can't I just stand up to her like Ryan does? AND I can't bring Ryan too. this isn't fair! it's my freakin' birthday!' a headache brewed in Sarah's mind at these thoughts with her still sitting at her desk alone in her classroom 'I suppose I can have one night off from the Labyrinth, I'm allowed to live my own life after all. Mr sparkly pants goblin king will just have to accept that I'm going to be a grown-up and I can do whatever for my birthday and besides I could become one of the popular kids if I have this house party and I think dad and irene will be happy that I have other friends than Ryan" Sarah moved her head backward so all she could see was the ceiling staring back at her letting her thoughts stew in her mind.

The imaginative girl stared at the classroom ceiling for 20 minutes after the popular kids left, ruminating about what she was going to do about this house party she'd been forced into having. Sarah sighed whilst she continued staring vacantly upwards at the classroom lights trying to outweigh the pros and cons, part of her wanted to do it because she thought it could be her way into getting some friends in her aboveground life but deep down she questioned Muffy's honesty. it didn't help that Sarah still felt guilty.

*Flashback*

6 years ago Muffy and Sarah were the best of friends, except Muffy was called Melody. the 2 girls were borderline inseparable and Sarah knew Melody long before Ryan as their mothers went to the same acting classes before they were born but the three outcasts became best friends, they'd do everything together including playing in the park together, going to the library, going to each other's houses, etc the trio were all best friends up until Melody's accident. Melody was quiet and studious, she'd wear her long uncooperative hair in braids, thick-rimmed glasses disfigured her blue eyes, she was a chubby girl who would be called 'homely' by a few, and her clothes weren't considered to be trendy. she got bullied. Melody harbored jealousy for Sarah being that she was pretty and kind however she also saw Sarah as immature, that she was still talking about goblin kings and fairies at 12 years old but Melody wanted to explore makeup and jewelry, Sarah noticed a few times Melody excessively staring at magazines and mannequins wanting to look like them but then felt disheartened when she looked down at her own body, Sarah tried to distract with a game of pretend but it didn't stop Melody's budding obsession.

One day the young trio was cycling to middle school with Sarah and Melody playfully mocking Ryan for lagging behind on his bike.

"C'mon Ryan!" Sarah called back

"Yeah c'mon slowpoke" Melody retorted

the girls giggled to themselves as Ryan was struggling to reach the pedals of his 'big boy' bike

"This isn't fair, you guys are taller than me!" the awkward-looking pre-teen Ryan called back from behind growing annoyed at his friends who were far ahead of him. it was true, Melody and Sarah were taller than him, he had yet to have a growth spurt.

"We have to defeat the dragons in the dungeon" Sarah beamed still zooming on her bike but slowed when she noticed Melody at the side of her had slowed too

"Hey, Sarah?"

"Yeah?"

"D'ya think that maybe we need to stop talking about that sorta stuff?" melody asked

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked confused

"I mean as in, we'll be going to high school in no time and I don't think we should be talking about princesses and dragons and stuff" Melody confessed

"But we love that stuff, Melody" Sarah tried to assure the insecure girl with Ryan still in the background trying to catch up to them

"I know but we're already not popular and that sorta stuff will make us even less popular" Melody stated, pushing up her thick glasses

"I didn't think you care about that sorta thing Melody" Sarah brushed her off

"well, I do! it's okay for you Sarah!" Melody voice rose in frustration with Sarah being confused at her friend's anger

"Melody, what's wrong with you?" she answered back

"everything's just a big game of pretending to you! it's okay for Sarah Williams! pretty little Sarah Williams who all the boys like!" Melody snapped

"Melody, what's come over you?" Sarah questioned in disbelief, the girls didn't notice their bikes moving closer towards the middle of the road rather than the sidewalk with Melody being too distracted being mad at Sarah to notice her bike was steering towards the moving cars.

"hey is everything okay?" Ryan asked hearing the girls bickering in the distance

"SHUT UP RYAN" Melody acerbically spat back at him

"MELODY WATCH OUT!" Sarah screamed

SMASH

Melody's face smashed into the back window of a car when she wasn't paying attention. Melody spent all summer that year in hospital recovering, the impact broke her right arm in several places and caused the majority of her teeth to fall out therefore whilst her pearly white veneers were being made she lived on a liquid diet so she shed her childhood chubbiness. Sarah visited Melody every day whilst she was in the hospital with Melody growing more resentful of Sarah's beauty along with her endless chattering about her dreams about a certain goblin king. her accident was the birth of Melody's fantastic popular girl psychopathy.

One time Sarah visited, she came with Melody's favorite fancy dress costume to try and cheer her friend up, Melody was unresponsive to her from the moment she walked in.

"Look, Melody! I've brought your Tatianna costume!" the 12-year-old Sarah beamed

Melody was completely unresponsive to her friend, the disturbed girl stared that the hospital ceiling whilst laying in her bed. Sarah grew awkward at the lack of conversation between the two as the tension-filled the room. trying to build up her confidence in herself, Sarah smiled at her sullen friend, and much to her delight she could that Melody had almost completely healed in fact she looked better than she'd ever done before, Sarah noticed a significant weight loss with Melody and that her arm was no longer in a cast.

"Wow Melody looks like this dress will need to be taken in" Sarah complemented with a chipper attitude but she was still greeted with no answer, Sarah felt her enthusiastic light dimming with the girl laying in front of her barely paying her any attention. Moments went by with the only noise being made in the hospital room was the clock ticking, Sarah sat with the costume folded in her arms feeling uncomfortable with herself, her eyes moved over to the clock to see she only had 5 minutes left of her visiting time yet there had been no conversation between the two at all.

'I've been here for nearly a half-hour and Melody hasn't said a thing'

Sarah looked back over at Melody to see she was still unmoved

'Ugh, I might as well not have come. Wouldn't mind I actually like this dress' Sarah looked down at the ivory dress folded over in her arms and admired it, She twitched her eyes back to the clock to see she only had three minutes left

'I might as well just go' Sarah reasoned with herself lifting herself up from the chair that was beside Melody's bed, Sarah placed the dress onto the bed trying her best to straighten out the creases from where it had been folded, before leaving she wanted to say bye to her friend, therefore, she turned to face a still Melody.

"Cya later Melody, get well soon" Sarah breathed with the little hope she had, about to leave her bedside a sharp pain seized Sarah from leaving Melody's side as she felt long hard nails digging into the back of her hand, Sarah looked down to see that Melody was hostilely grabbing onto her, she slowly etched her eyes up and was greeted by Melody's new amazingly white teeth evilly grinning back at her.

"Melody, what are you doing?" Sarah cried through the pain

"I'm only doing what you did to me, Sarah" Melody grinned, Sarah's arm was shivering in fear with Melody keeping her firmly in place, her eyes etched down seeing her friend's nails harshly digging into her skin with red marks appearing.

"What?" Sarah whimpered out

"Everything's always been easy for you, I've always been in your shadow but now..." Melody dragged Sarah down to meet her eye level, she leaned her face in closer to her victims so Sarah could feel her breath on her face "but now, it's my turn" she seethed, Melody's fierce eyes burned into Sarah as her nails continued to dig into her hand even causing it to bleed.

After a few moments of Melody hatefully staring into Sarah's eyes and Sarah whimpering from the pain her 'friend' was causing, Sarah's eyes glistened with tears falling from the pain as Melody watched her victim giving her a small, sadistic smile. Melody finally released her. Sarah desperately grabbed her hand back only to look at the back of it to see the bloodied embedded nail marks in her fair skin, tears poured from Sarah's emerald eyes as she looked at her friend with hurt disbelief and hurt only for Melody to look at Sarah with disgust.

"You may go now" Melody spat

Sarah whimpered making her way out of the hospital room holding her injured hand to herself, feeling completely hurt and betrayed by someone who she considered to be her best friend, about to open the door to leave the room, Sarah was hit by one last blow by melody.

"Oh and Sarah, you are no longer my best friend"

Feeling those painful words wash over her, Sarah didn't want to turn back to face Melody, the heroine sobbed as she opened the door and left. Robert came to pick his daughter up from the hospital, he had noticed that every time she came home from a visit that she looked more and more depressed by her friend but this was the first time he could see that she'd been sobbing. Sarah opened her father's car door and was greeted with an encouraging smile from him, Sarah didn't respond to Robert making sure that she hid her injured hand from him, it was one of those car rides where the two didn't speak because Robert knew it was best not to.

That Fall when the new semester started, the new Melody joined middle school however she insisted everybody call her 'Muffy', her weight loss didn't go unnoticed neither did the disappearance of her dorky glasses in replacement of contacts, people started to notice her for what she thought was the right reasons, her clothing became more trendy and she began paying more attention to her appearance. Muffy worked her way through the ranks to queen bee by the end of middle school, and by the time high school started she had her dumb clone following her and Sarah noticed Muffy's vicious nature increasing doing things that she never thought Melody was capable of but Sarah came to realize that her friend Melody was gone.

*End flashback*

...

The school corridors hummed with students when lunch break started, Sarah sat and pondered in a lonely classroom whereas the popular kids maliciously sniggered and commented leaving the classroom. The popular kids always sat together for lunch at their own table and it was rare that one of them was by themselves, Steffy stuck to Muffy like glue, and Muffy was never seen without one of her 'friends' with her, they always made sure to leave classes together and would always happen to be in the same classes together. Sarah often wondered how was it they all managed to be in each other back pockets but she'd be brought out of her criticism if she was called over to the popular kid table, it was one of those things where Sarah would drop everything if she heard Muffy's shrill voice calling over to her and the feeling of excited anticipation would consume her.

thirty minutes into the lunch break, the intimidated students cleared the hallway for the popular kids confidently striding into the lunch hall. Muffy felt powerful at seeing the insecurity and fear on her fellow student's faces, it was almost like a game to her of what face will she be greeted with and how many pathetic excuses of people will go out of their way for her attention, the number of boys and girls who desperately praise her was almost laughable to her with her puppets using her for their own gain too. The Queen Muffy felt indestructible in her castle.

The popular kids found their table, sat, and began their lunch with Steffy anxiously prodding at her food with her fork.

"I can't believe you did that Muffy" Brad moaned

the conceited girl's eyes patronizingly lifted up from her food to look at her 'boyfriend', she continued to chew at her food and looked at Brad as if he was stupid. She purposefully chewed her food for longer than it needed to be still giving Brad a condescending look, He raised his eyebrows at her waiting for an answer with Steffy just glad they were focussing on something else other than eating. Muffy eventually swallowed her food.

"can't believe I did what?" Muffy finally answered, pretending not to know what Brad was talking about

"That you want us to go to weirdo William's house on Saturday for her birthday or whatever" the jock complained at her

"well of course I do brad, I am her best friend after all" Muffy mocked back

the self-conscious Steffy interjected at hearing Muffy's statement, "I thought I was your best-" Steffy nervously blurted out until Muffy stopped her by putting her hand up to Steffy, "Friend" Steffy squeaked out dejectedly then awkwardly looked down back at her barely touched food

"pssh, you're not her best friend. you hate Williams, remember? you only like it when she does your homework for you, other than that you can't stand her" Brad brushed her off

"Geez Brad, how could I hate someone when I'm their best friend?" Muffy leaned over closer to him with Steffy following her actions "Look, I know Sarah is a complete freak but-"

"I know right!" Steffy gushed butting herself in, "One time, I saw her in the bathroom and she was totally talking into this, like, crystal ball or something and thinking it was, like, talking to her back. I know she doesn't have any friends or anythi-" Steffy's nervous gushing was stopped when Muffy placed her hand on the fragile girl's shoulder, Muffy's thumb etched over Steffy's collarbone and she shuffled her hand to feel Steffy's shoulder "Wow Steffy, have you gained some weight? I can really feel it here" Steffy's anxiously chirpy face dropped into debilitating self-consciousness, her eyes ached red with hot tears and her mouth twitched into a sad smile exposing her dulled teeth at her manipulator "I have?"

"Yeah, maybe you should sort that out" Muffy calculatingly suggested to her

"...okay" Steffy did as she was told by nervously lifting from her seat to go to the lunch hall bathroom leaving just Muffy and Brad at the table

"Good I'm glad you got rid of her, she's just so stupid, like, she doesn't even know what's going on" Brad chuckled

"But back to Williams" Muffy smiled, "I know Williams is a freak but she's kinda pretty and I think this could be a way of getting her in with us" Muffy lied

"Yeah right Muffy, I know you're up to something" Brad leaned back on his chair and laughed at Muffy's lie

Muffy's red lips morphed into an evil smile flashing her pristine teeth at the jock, a small high pitched giggle escaped from her smile leaving Brad feeling confused which quickly shifted to uncomfortable at the girl wickedly laughing to herself.

"Oh Brad, Of course, I'm up to something" she smiled at him

Brad raised his thick eyebrow at her intrigued to what it was that she had planned for Sarah, part of him liked Sarah as he found her to be quite attractive but he was put off by her 'weirdness' and he didn't want to be associated with her for that reason but he knew that her beauty far surpassed Muffy's, "Go on" he asked out of interest

"So, everybody knows her step-mom is a total wino, like with all the 'Iced teas' she has and her dad has a HUGE stash of whiskey, scotch, everything, right?"

"Right" Brad nodded

"We go to Williams house under the pretense we want her to be our friend but we trick her into getting totally out of it with some of her dad's alcohol, we trash the house, steal the rest of her dad's stash, and when her step-mommy and daddy come back home to see their sweet daughter is completely drunk, they'll think she stole it and trashed the place" Muffy explained

"We can also spread rumors she's a wino too" said a sickly looking Steffy coming in from behind after hearing her queen's vile plan

"Exactly" Muffy agreed with her weak friend, Steffy's lifeless eyes seemed to light up a little at hearing Muffy's acknowledgment

Brad went into himself feeling uncomfortable with Muffy's plan for Sarah, he knew it wasn't right what she was doing and part of him wanted to tell Muffy where to go but he knew his own popularity would be at risk if he spoke up and that Muffy would turn his own insecurities against him, therefore, he felt as though he had to begrudgingly agree with her plan.

"B-but what if Williams says no" he quipped back pretending not to be bothered

Muffy's head mockingly cocked to the side with a condescending smirk and Steffy mimicked her actions "Silly Brad" Muffy reached over her pale hand to Brad's finely combed hair and tousled it making it messy, causing him to blush and grow annoyed at her.

"Of course, she'll say yes because you're going to make sure she does" she winked at him

"I am?" Brad questioned in disbelief

"Yeah, a freak like Williams having the hot football star at her house for a house party, flirt with her a little and she'll totally say yes" the manipulative girl paused taking a sip from her drink knowing full well that massaging Brad's ego would convince him enough to join her, she continued "and besides, you can tell she desperately wants us to be her friends. Everybody knows she has no friends other than that trainwreck 'artist' Ryan"

Still not feeling right with himself, Brad sighed and agreed with the plan

"Perfect" Muffy's eyes glistened with deviousness and Steffy nervously twitched trying to pass it off as excitement, Muffy lifted her drink to propose a toast to her friends with her friends following her direction.

"So we're all in agreement, this is an offer that Williams can't turn down" she threateningly arched her eyes over at her friends to make sure they obeyed her orders with all three drinks clinking together.

"Perfect..."

Sarah spent the whole of her lunch break alone in the classroom with her mind racing, too busy to even notice her stomach was growling and the clock was ticking.

And that's the second part of this chapter, again I'm sorry for the lack of Jareth in this chapter but he definitely will be in the next part and we've also found out the popular kids wicked plan they have in store for our heroine. I feel as though I have to put this, if anything in this chapter upsets readers then I advise not to read this chapter, I have put a disclaimer at the beginning to warn readers that there will be mature themes in this chapter, some of which readers may find upsetting.

please read and review, and again thanks for reading!
